DCW26 Jad Jebara Now New Next DCIM

I’m both humbled and honored to share that I’ll be leading the DCIM Leadership Workshop at Data Center World AFCOM 2026 this April—taking over from Bill Kleyman, who has made this workshop the gold standard for advanced DCIM strategy over the past nine years.

Bill has built something truly special. For nearly a decade, this has been the place where data center leaders move beyond the basics and tackle real challenges: driving adoption, demonstrating ROI, navigating organizational change, and turning infrastructure data into strategic advantage.

Following in his footsteps is both an honor and a responsibility I don’t take lightly.

What we’ll cover in this Edition:

This isn’t a product demo. It’s a three-hour deep dive into the hard questions that keep infrastructure leaders up at night in 2026:

  • The Now: Managing AI workloads at unprecedented density, navigating power constraints, and maintaining uptime when margins are shrinking
  • The New: Liquid cooling integration, sovereign data requirements, predictive maintenance at scale, and the shift from monitoring to intelligence
  • The Next: Autonomous operations, digital twins that deliver value, and preparing for what’s coming

We’ll tackle what actually works, what doesn’t, and why most DCIM implementations still fail despite better technology. No vendor platitudes—just honest conversation about the challenges we’re all facing.

Bill—thank you for building this workshop into what it is today and for trusting me to carry it forward.

To everyone attending Data Center World: I look forward to seeing you there for the kinds of honest, challenging conversations that actually move our industry forward.
